First of all, Greetings, I am still fairly new to SF, and have not done much chatting with you ladies, but I do need some advice, and any information, anyone can offer.

I am feeling all mixed up right now, here's why.A little back ground, I already have had five children, and during the delivery of my last child, 15months old, there were complications, I started bleeding out.So, they tied my tubes. That was January of 08.Well, last week made it where I was late 3weeks. So, I went to the drug store and picked up two of those first response tests'. This morning right after I woke up, I took the test, and it is posative. I have called my doctor, and have made an appointment for 1 week.Can i be pregnant, and the egg, NOT be in my tubes? I feel no pain, whatsoever, I just feel, well, pregnant.I have heard of women conceiving after a tubal, but have never discussed it any great detail. Is it possible to be pregnant, and it not be in my tubes?

I was always under the impression, that it wouldn't work out, so i figured my baby making days were over.

My friend had her third baby after having her tubes tied so you never know.

I just had my 5th in March.

I agree with those saying babies should have a mother and a father. All this talk of doners is dehumanizing to men. It further erodes our already strained male-female relations to essentially say to society and your child "dad is unnecessary!" How will boys learn to be men and girls learn what to look for in a husband otherwise? The rare cases where the mom is doing it on her own because dad is MIA do not justify throwing out the role of father altogether in order to have a baby.

I saw something on Discovery channel or something like that, about a woman, I think British, who gave birth to one (or maybe two?) perfectly healthy baby -- only thing was, the placenta was outside of her uterus.

Wow,that is crazy.Just goes to show nothing is 100 percent.
You must be fertile mertile.
I don't know what to say,I am confused now...

Anyways,congrats! I hope everything does turn out ok,and there are no complications.

There is a very small chance of becoming pregnant after having fallopian tube sterilization. More than 1 million women have the procedure each year, and according to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the risk of getting pregnant is less than 1 percent.
Tubal sterilization aims to prevent pregnancy by blocking an egg and sperm from meeting in the fallopian tube. The procedure may include either cutting and removing a portion of the tubes, using an electric current to burn (cauterize) part of the tubes, sealing off the tubes with a ring or clip, or inserting an implant that creates scar tissue that will eventually block the tubes.
Depending on the type of procedure used, the sterilization may be effective right away or may take a few months to work. Sometimes, a special X-ray test called a hysteropsalpingogram must be performed to make sure the tubes are completely blocked.
If a pregnancy does occur following tubal sterilization, it is more likely to happen if the clip method was used. The risk is also higher in women who had the sterilization done before the age of 30, as well as in women who had an implant placed but did not follow up with the X-ray test to confirm blockage of the tubes.
Pregnancies following tubal sterilization are often "ectopic," which means that the fertilized egg grows outside of the uterus, most commonly in a fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancies must be treated immediately to prevent harm to the pregnant woman, so it's important to consult with an obstetrician right away if you suspect a pregnancy following tubal sterilization.
Your obstetrician can talk with you in more detail about the risks and benefits of the different types of tubal sterilization, how soon the sterilization is expected to take effect, whether back-up birth control needs to be used for a short period after the procedure, and the chances of becoming pregnant afterward for your specific situation.

Yikes! Outside, that is strange. I guess I will know more next monday, but it's freaking me out. I wouldn't have a problem with another baby, I welcome the opportunity actually, but I am scared that it could go badly. Thank You for your response.

Thank You Momo'4! Yes, they don't burn them any longer, they were just cut, & tied, that was the way the doctor said it. There is already exhisting damage to the uterine wall, so like I said in the previous post, I am freaked out, and quite frankly, scared to death.And yes, I am very fertile. I use to say that I couldn't even look at my husband, or I'd get knocked up. Thank you very much, if you come across some additional statitics, pls let me know.

Good luck, whatever the outcome.

And my mom once told me that her OB/GYN told her that she was so fertile, men could just look at her and she'd have a baby. I think the women in our family were just made for it!
